Wang Tong did not live in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, but chose to live in the house arranged by Lao Li. Even he did not really fulfill the responsibilities of a royal palace official. That is, he helped the King of Chu make plans and manage the recruitment of staff.
What's more, Wang Tong only lectured Li Zhiyun about classics and history, and had no intention of discussing state affairs with Li Zhiyun. This made Li Zhiyun inexplicably relieved, because judging from Wang Tong's attitude that day, he seemed to see something, but he didn't.
Because he was frustrated with government affairs, he had no plans to further his official career.
"Teacher, it seems that he hasn't changed at all." Xue Shou said to Li Zhiyun as he sent Wang Tong out of the palace.
Li Zhiyun said thoughtfully: "Teacher is well-informed and doesn't like government affairs. Besides, his current body does not support his hard work."
"It's a pity. With the teacher's resourcefulness, everything will be smooth sailing for the king."
"Nothing in this world is smooth sailing," Li Zhiyun said.
In the room, Du Ruhui listened to the two of them talking and interrupted: "Your Highness, what about the Prince and King Qin?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "Keming, you have always avoided these things, why do you take the initiative to talk about them now?"
What else could be the reason? He is now a member of the Chu Palace and has been branded on his body.
"Your Highness is joking, I can't just take salary," Du Ruhui said humorously.
There is no way, he gave too much.
Li Zhiyun said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a family affair. Of course, we can't help but talk about the defeat."
"What does Your Highness plan to do?" Du Ruhui asked with deep meaning.
"How to do it?" Li Zhiyun smiled slightly, "Keming, the world has not yet been unified. Wang Shichong occupies the Central Plains, Dou Jiande is in Hebei, Liu Wuzhou has Turks behind him, and the south is divided into several territories. Now, can I think so much?"
Du Ruhui nodded appreciatively, "Your Highness Huixin."
"But there must be a charter." Xue Shou said silently.
Li Zhiyun and Du Ruhui were silent at the same time.
Avoiding this kind of thing will not solve the problem, and judging from the current signs, the situation will only get worse in the future.
"No matter what, we are all brothers, so we need to have a good relationship." Li Zhiyun said.
At this time, Du Ruhui reminded: "Your Highness, please remember that a saint will always be a saint."
Li Zhiyun was happy and said: "Yes, a saint will always be a saint."
At this moment, Li Qiang came to report, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace who wants to see you."
"who is it?"
"He said that he was Wang Defa's son and he wanted to see the king for something important."
Li Zhiyun was stunned, "Aren't all Wang Defa's sons dismissed?"
Although Wang Defa was arrested, Li Zhiyun did not decide to kill him because Wang Defa surrendered on his own. Moreover, because the Dugu family was involved, Li Zhiyun kicked the ball to Lao Li and let Li Yuan decide Wang Defa's death.
Later, Wang Defa was tortured to death by the Dugu family. Lao Li pinched his nose and gave in, and did not continue to pursue Wang Defa, so he pardoned his son.
"What's the reason for his coming?"
Li Qiang said: "He said that Wang Defa has an inheritance."
heritage?
Dugu Mansion.
Xue Ju has made a lot of noise recently, but it has almost no impact on the Guanlong nobles. They even treat Li Yuan as a tool man, let alone a little hooligan who kicks trash cans everywhere. Of course, if Lao Li can't solve Xue Ju, they won't
Would you mind helping out?
Dugu Zhen is the youngest son of Dugu Xin, but he is different from the previous seven brothers. He had no reputation during the Sui Dynasty and had been working as an ordinary official. It was not until the death of his eldest brother Dugu Luo's son Dugu Tui that he began to take over the Dugu family.
Become the head of the household.
The Dugu family has many talents, but also many idiots. Some people even rebelled in the Sui Dynasty, which caused the Dugu family to continue to decline.
This situation did not start to improve until Dugu Zhen became the head of the family.
"Xiude, how did you handle Wang Defa's matter?" Dugu Zhen asked Dugu Xiude while fishing.
"Master, hasn't the decision been made?" Dugu Xiude didn't understand. The court had already determined that Wang Defa died suddenly, so what else could be asked.
Dugu Zhen's hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly, resisting the urge to use the fishing rod to slap Dugu Xiude, and said: "Your father gave you to me to teach you, do you know why?"
Dugu Xiude's father is Dugu Ji, who is currently in Luoyang. And Dugu Xiude's grandfather is Dugu Xin's fourth son, Dugu Zhen's fourth brother, Dugu Zang.
"My grandson doesn't know."
"Because you are rough in what you do!"
With a low roar, the fishing rod was plunged into the water with a splash.
Dugu Xiude was startled, and quickly lowered his head, "Please ask the master to teach me."
He showed off his power outside, but he would never dare to be arrogant in front of Dugu Zhen.
"Did you know that Wang Defa has an account book of grain, fodder and weapons stored by the Dugu family in Liangzhou?"
"What?! How dare he!" Dugu Xiude was shocked and angry.
"Why doesn't he dare!" Dugu said angrily: "Dugu Huaien, this idiot, always wants to cause trouble. You don't allow Wang Defa to surrender, and he can't defeat Li Zhiyun, so he will naturally leave a way out for himself!"
Dugu Xiude was extremely shocked and asked quickly: "How did the head of the family get the news?"
Dugu Zhen put his hands behind his back and said: "Wang Defa's lieutenant was a member of the Dugu family. The city of Nanzheng was destroyed. He died fighting hard. His son gave the suicide note to me. Only then did I know that Wang Defa had an account book with him."
"
"Where is the account book now?" Dugu Xiude asked hurriedly.
Dugu Zhen's eyes contained murderous intent, "In the hands of Wang Defa's son."
"I'll kill him!" Dugu Xiude was full of murderous intent.
"Stop!" Dugu Zhen stopped Dugu Xiude, who had turned around, and asked, "Do you know where that person is?"
A little embarrassed, Dugu Xiude stood there blankly at a loss.
Seeing his appearance, Dugu was shocked and furious.
After a while, Dugu Zhen suppressed his anger and said: "The slaves I sent chased him all the way to Chang'an before losing the trace of Wang Defa's son. He must be hiding in Chang'an City. There is an old Huai'en department in the Chang'an Yamen. You can contact him and let me know.
They secretly investigated under the pretext of tracking down the spies of the Western Qin Dynasty. I must catch him and retrieve the account book."
"Yes!" Dugu Xiude agreed, and then asked in confusion: "Wang Defa's son did not run to the mountains at this time, but came to Chang'an. He wants to overturn Wang Defa's case?"
"You're not stupid." Dugu Zhen snorted coldly, "If I'm not wrong, Wang Defa must have given some instructions. For example, if something happens to him, let his son come to Chang'an with the account books and die with us."
Speaking of this, Dugu Zhen felt a stomach ache. Damn it, originally, he tried to persuade Wang Defa to surrender, but he just followed the script and decided to make trouble, but now he is doing shit.
"He is wishful thinking and dreaming!" Dugu Xiude was furious and gritted his teeth: "When I catch him, I will cut him into pieces!"
Duguzhen waved his hand, "Resolve this matter as soon as possible without delay."
